18 DE~ATT~ DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
19 Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, a rail 10 is attached by means of two brackets 60 to a wall in a kitchen. The rail 21 10 is about 45 centimeters above a preparation table so that 22 objects being supported by options being attached to the 23 rail 10 is steadily available for users. As shown for 24 example, a soap tray 20, a number of hooks 30 and a number of trays 40 are attached to the rail 10.
26 Referring to Fig. 3, four slots 11 are longitudinally 27 formed throughout the rail 10. Each slot 11 is 90 from the 28 next slot 11. For the convenience of description, the four 1 slots are referred to as front, rear, upper and lower slots.
2 Each slot 11 has a circular portion being in communication 3 with a rectilinear portion.
4 Referring to Fig. 4, a guide 61 is formed on an end of each bracket 60 and a base 62 is formed on an opposite end 6 of the bracket 60. Each guide 61 has a form being 7 compensatory to that of each slot 11. Thus, the guides 61 8 are slidably engageable in the rear slot 11, i.e. the rail 9 10 is attached to the brackets 60. Furthermore, the brackets 60 will cannot radially detached from the rail 10 11 because of the mutually compensatory configurations of the 12 slots 11 and the guides 61. Several holes are forme~
13 through the base of each bracket 60. Several screws or 14 nails (not shown) are inserted through the holes formed through the base 62 of each bracket and are secured to the 16 wall. Thus, the rail 10 is attached by means of the 17 brackets 60 to the wall.
18 Referring to Fig. 5, two guides 21 are formed on an 19 edge of the soap tray 20. Referring to Fig. 6, a guide 31 is formed on each hook 30. Referring to Fig. 7, two guides 21 41 are formed on the underside of each tray 40. The guides 22 21, 31 and 41 has a configuration being identical to that of 23 each guide 60 so that they are slidably engageable in the 24 slots 11.
The guides 21 are engaged in the front slot 11, i.e., 26 the soap tray 20 is attached to the front side of the rail 27 10. Obviously, a bending moment is exerted on each guide 21 28 as a load is exerted on the soap tray 20. The moment might 1 break the guides 21. Therefore, such an arrangement of the 2 soap tray 20 is not durable for a heavy load.
3 The guides 31 are engaged in the lower slot 11. Thus, 4 the hooks 30 are attached to the underside of the rail 10 in order to retain preparation utensils or other objects in 6 position to the rail 10.
7 The guides 41 are engaged in the upper slot 11, i.e., 8 the trays 40 are attached to the upperside of the rail 10.
9 Obviously, there will not be any bending moment exerted on each guide 41 if a load is exerted on each tray 40. Thus, 11 the tray 40 is suitable for taking a heavy load.
12 Referring to Fig. 8, a slot-plugging member 50 has a 13 flat portion from a side of which four plugs 51 project.
14 The plugs 51 are fitted in the circular portions of the slots 11. Thus, the guides 21, 31 and 41 are kept from 16 sliding out of the slots 11, i.e., the soap tray 20, the 17 hooks 30 and the trays 40 are retained attached to the rail 18 10. Furthermore, the guide 61 is kept from sliding out of 19 the rear slot 11, i.e., the rail 10 is retained mounted on the brackets 60.
21 Referring to Fig. 9, four plugs 52 are each fitted in 22 the circular portion of a corresponding slot 11 so that the 23 soap tray 20, the hooks 30 and the trays 40 are retained 24 attached to the rail 10 and that the rail 10 is retained mounted on the brackets 60.
26 Referring to Fig. 10, in accordance with another 27 embodiment of the present invention, a rail 10' is tubular.
28 Four slots lla, llb, llc and lld are longitudinally formed 1 throughout the rail 10'. The slots lla, llb, llc and lld 2 are made with different sizes. Obviously, the guides must 3 be dimensioned to match the slots.
4 While the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood 6 that variations thereof will be apparent to those skilled in 7 the art upon reading this specification. Therefore, the 8 present invention is intended to cover all such variations 9 as shall fall within the scope of the appended claims.
